WNA Multiple Sclerosis Center in Utah

Western Neurological Associates (WNA) Center for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) of Utah provides unparalleled diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care for patients with MS. Though Western Neurological Associates has been providing diagnosis and treatment for multiple sclerosis patients for almost 40 years, WNA established its formal Multiple Sclerosis Center of Utah in 1999 with a free-standing 3000 square foot clinic dedicated solely to the diagnosis and treatment of multiple sclerosis. The Center is staffed by a board-certified neurologist, certified nurse practitioners, certified physician assistants and provides diagnoses, treatment and disease management all under one roof. Our specialists are dedicated to:

• Diagnosing and/or confirming the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis
• Providing early intervention with FDA-approved medications
• Early and aggressive treatment of MS flare-ups (exacerbations)
• Treatment of MS-related symptoms such as fatigue, depression, spasticity, bowel and bladder impairment
• Prevention of MS-related disabilities
• Promoting mobility for patients with physical impairments
• Thorough education about multiple sclerosis for patients and their families
• Helping patients maximize independence and productivity

Although there is currently no cure for multiple sclerosis, WNA offers a number of FDA-approved medications that have proven highly effective in treating MS symptoms and modifying attacks. Our specialists are at the forefront of MS treatment, ensuring that each patient receives the effective, individualized care they deserve to enjoy a healthy and productive life.

About Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a potentially disabling neurological disorder that affects more than 400,000 Americans. MS involves inflammation within the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), followed by demyelination (loss of the protective myelin sheaths which surround nerve fibers) and loss of axonal function. Symptoms vary greatly from person to person, and may be dramatic or extremely mild. Symptoms may persist for days or weeks and then partially or completely disappear. The most common early symptoms of MS include:

• Tingling
• Numbness
• Loss of balance
• Weakness in one or more limbs
• Blurred or double vision
• Memory and thinking problems
• Diminished coordination
• Fatigue
